Thanks for the thorough report. I am having trouble even starting ecryptfsd as root on 2.6.24-rc7 without oopsing the kernel. It seems that the netlink code over the last few kernel releases has been giving eCryptfs more and more trouble. I will probably just move away from netlink altogether and use a regular device handle to manage the I/O with the daemon. Mike
